Famous quotes containing the words herbert, river and/or floods:

    “Take of this grain, which in my garden grows,”
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    “It is from quiet places like this all over the world that the forces accumulate which presently will overbear any attempt to accomplish evil on a large scale. Like the rivulets gathering into the river, and the river into the seas, there come from communities like this streams that fertilize the consciences of men, and it is the conscience of the world that we are trying to place upon the throne which others would usurp.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Poor verdant fool, and now green ice! thy joys,
    Large and as lasting as thy perch of grass,
    Bid us lay in ‘gainst winter rain, and poise
    Their floods with an o’erflowing glass.”
    —Richard Lovelace (1618–1658)
